Two pals have spoken of the panic after a killer earthquake rocked their holiday hotel.

Natasha Brunt from Hinckley and Shelley Lloyd from Earl Shilton were on the last night of a week-long trip to Turkey.

Staying at the Green Nature Diamond resort in Marmaris the pair, both mums-of-three, were in their room asleep when the shockwave struck.

The 6.7 magnitude tremor originated in the Aegean Sea around seven miles north-east of Kos near the Turkish coast.

The Greek island and popular holidaymaker destinations in Turkey were all rocked with two people killed by falling debris in Kos itself as well as hundreds injured there and in Bodrum.

Thankfully there were no injuries reported at Natasha and Shelley’s hotel.

Shelley, aged 34, who works in pharmaceutical distribution, is a regular visitor to Turkey and had gone away with 35-year-old nurse Natasha for an early summer break.

Firefighters and rescuers try to clean a road from the stones after an earthquake on the Greek island of Kos early Friday, July 21, 2017. A powerful earthquake struck Greek islands and Turkey's Aegean coast early Friday morning, damaging buildings and a port and killing at least two people, authorities said.

She said: “We were both in our room sleeping as it was early hours here. I woke at around 1.25am having received a text.

“Suddenly I felt like I was out at sea with what felt like my whole bed moving. This then got more violent, shaking to the point panic kicked in as the whole hotel was moving.

“All sorts had ran through my mind - including this is the end.

"The rumbling sound was very loud which is what woke Natasha.

"We both lay there not knowing what to do for the best but by this point had realised it was an earthquake.

“We stupidly went out on the balcony where a lot of other people were looking very confused.

"We then decided to wrap ourselves in our bed sheets and go in to the hotel corridors where everyone was leaving their rooms in a panic - it seemed like everyone knew it was best to get out.”

Despite the chaos Shelley and Natasha were practically minded enough to grab their passports and flight tickets, knowing they could get home to their children should the worse happen to the hotel building.

Once outside they saw police and ambulances racing up the roads and crowds of confused tourists and staff.

Shelley Lloyd and friend Natasha Brunt were on holiday in Marmaris in Turkey when the earthquake which killed two people in Kos struck in the early hours of July 21. Guests were told to stay around the pool until it was deemed safe to go back into the building.

Initially the friends and other guests were asked to go to the beach, then they were moved and gathered around the pool before staff gave the all clear for them to go back into the hotel.

Shelley said: “Some people stayed round the pool all night where they clearly felt safer.

"For us I don’t think it really kicked in until this morning as it all happened so quick last night.

"However, we could tell it had definitely put us on edge as after entering back to our room we were quite jumpy about any sound or bang.

"I’d even text my mum to tell her should the worst happen I love them all so much.

"All sorts goes through your mind when fear kicks in I guess.”

The pair were leaving the resort today to fly back home. Despite the experience - and last year being disturbed by the Turkish coup - Shelley is determined to return to the place she regards as a ‘second home’.
